Guest Form: General Tab

General Tab

Type:

Common HTML input elements including text, select, radio buttons, and checkboxes.

Some of the fields require the input of additional options which can be chosen by the customer during checkout. An example would be a drop-down menu of choices. Choosing the Drop-down Select field will allow you to ask your customer a question and provide them with a list of possible answers to choose from.

Depending on the type of field you select, the Options tab will update to enable further customization. In our example of a drop-down field, you will now be presented with a list of three options in the field's Options tab. These options can be edited to reflect your requirements. See below for more details on the options tab.
